Research Focus
Conservation Biology is an interdisciplinary science that applies field work and genetics/genomics research methods to the understanding, conservation, and management of marine species.
Research Activities
- Shark, billfish and coral reef fish conservation biology, genomics, and ecology
- Fish movement ecology
- Coral reef ecosystem connectivity and biodiversity
- DNA forensics for fish identification and fisheries law enforcement
“Proper functioning of the oceans is based on a network of intricate interactions among its species and their environments. Understanding these interactions and conserving these species, especially the top predators, is essential for maintaining healthy ocean ecosystems.”
